I created Drupal in my dorm room in 2000 and later co-founded Acquia. For 25 years I've been building Open Source software, communities, and companies used by millions of people. This blog is where I think out loud about how Open Source, Drupal, AI, and the web are changing, and what I'm learning along the way. Start with the featured posts.
